"No Network Connection" but updates anyway about ffupdater

[Tobi823]

I suspect that something on your smartphone is causing this problem because it works on my devices, I have not receive other bug reports and I changed the code for "internet detection" a "long" time ago (07.05.2021 with version 73.1.3).

I see that you are using a VPN. Can you try it without it?

I narrowed the bug down to this part:

private fun isInternetAvailableNewWay(cm: ConnectivityManager): Boolean {
    val activeNetwork = cm.activeNetwork ?: return false
    val capabilities = cm.getNetworkCapabilities(activeNetwork) ?: return false
    return capabilities.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET) &&
            capabilities.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED)
}

This method evaluates to false/"no internet" if:

• ConnectivityManager.activeNetwork is null. According to the documentation this can happen, if there is no default network.
• ConnectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities is null. According to the documentation this can happen, if the network is unknown.
• the current network doesn't have the
  • NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET (Indicates that this network should be able to reach the internet.) or
  • NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED (Indicates that connectivity on this network was successfully validated. For example, for a network with NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET, it means that Internet connectivity was successfully detected.) capability.

Maybe you have disabled the internet detection on your smartphone (afaik Android phones are pinging Google servers to detect, if they have access to the Internet)? Maybe something different?

You're right, of course, AFAICT. I'll open this with them. Thanks!
